I think you hugely overestimate the amount of energy used for brooming. It's not like it's a crossfit workout. I don't eat more on the days I clean. My diet with and without a broom will stay the same so brooming is basically free when it comes to energy. People don't use vacuums because they save money on food this way. They use them for their convenience. Vacuums let you save time, not energy. So yes, if you spend the time you save planting trees it's great but we're getting pretty far away from the broom vs. vacuum discussion and we're starting to talk about imaginary people and their imaginary lives.
